Chapter 1098 - I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 1098: Xian’er’s anger and disappointment, he actually told her long ago

Changge

, he still doesn’t know that I’ve personally witnessed Lan Yifei killing

Jin Yun

…

Gu Xian’er’s emotions suddenly became incredibly complex, with various thoughts flashing through her mind.

If it’s true as she suspects, how should she interact with Gu Changge?

“Long time no see, Young Master Changge.”

“I wonder why you asked me to stay alone? Is there something you need from me?”

On the side, Lan Yifei was momentarily taken aback but quickly caught on, maintaining a natural demeanor as he respectfully inquired.

He actually guessed Gu Changge’s intention.

Still, he found it a bit peculiar in his heart because Gu Xian’er was present too.

Could it be that

Gu Changge

sn’t worried about Gu Xian’er knowing the truth, or ha

Gu Xian’er known all along?

So when

she

entered this courtyard

just now

, did she intentionally give him a meaningful look?

Various thoughts raced through Lan Yifei’s mind, but his expression remained unchanged. He was humble and composed, giving no indication of any anomaly.

“It’s actually not a big deal. It’s just that recently, many geniuses have gathered in the Divine City. I’m concerned that inheritors of demonic arts might run rampant, so I wanted to remind Brother Lan to be careful.”

“After all, Brother Lan’s physique is quite attractive to inheritors of demonic arts.”

Gu Changge smiled faintly, suggesting something with his words.

Upon hearing this, Lan Yifei’s heart trembled, but his face remained composed. “Thank you for the reminder, Young Master Changge. I will be more cautious.”

He understood the implied meaning in Gu Changge’s words—it was an order for him to take action in the Divine City.

Currently, many young supremes had converged in the Divine City, making it an opportune time for inheritors of demonic arts to strike.

However, the risks of this undertaking were exceedingly high. Many background figures were present in the Divine City, and Lan Yifei wasn’t confident in his success.

Moreover, after the incident with Jin Yun from Violet Sky Valley, various immortal sects were closely monitoring their respective disciples, fearing unexpected incidents.

Lan Yifei couldn’t easily choose the right moment to act.

Afterward, he took his leave, bidding farewell without lingering.

Unlike other immortal sects, the Dao Immortal Alliance didn’t have powerful figures coming to the Divine City. Lan Yifei couldn’t afford to be as casual as other young supremes; he needed to be cautious in many matters.

Once Lan Yifei left, only Gu Xian’er and Gu Changge remained in the courtyard.

Gu Changge’s faint smile disappeared as he sat down on a nearby stone bench.

“You seem to be hiding a lot from me, young lady. What did you want to say to me today?” he asked, taking a sip from the nearby tea cup, seemingly indifferent.

Gu Xian’er hadn’t expected Gu Changge to take the initiative like this, questioning her about what she was hiding from him. The expression on her face immediately darkened, no longer displaying her usual cold charm.

“Gu Changge, shouldn’t it be me saying this to you?” she retorted, her gaze locked onto his face. She had only harbored suspicions before, but after hearing what Gu Changge and Lan Yifei had said today, she was now very certain.

What infuriated Gu Xian’er even more was that Gu Changge was pretending to be completely unaware of it all, and he even started asking her questions first.

Hearing this, Gu Changge raised an eyebrow and then put down his tea cup. He carefully examined Gu Xian’er, who seemed genuinely angry and incredibly serious, far from joking.

“What’s going on? Why such a sudden outburst?”

In truth, Gu Changge had a faint idea of what was happening. He had noticed the expression on Gu Xian’er’s face when she looked at Lan Yifei earlier, which seemed to carry an inexplicable meaning.

“At this point, are you still not planning to tell me the truth? Gu Changge, you’ve truly disappointed me,” Gu Xian’er said, her clear eyes filled with undisguised disappointment.

“The truth? Are you referring to a specific truth? It seems like I’ve told you everything I should,” Gu Changge replied, still smiling faintly.

Gu Xian’er was completely infuriated by his casual and nonchalant tone. Her eyes turned ice-cold, and she exuded an aura of frostiness.

“Gu Changge, don’t think I don’t know about the identity you’ve been hiding all along. Why did you lie to me and keep things from me? Were you afraid I’d go against you, make enemies with other factions? Or do you simply not trust me, fearing I might expose everything?” Her tone was icy and filled with disappointment.

The matter of the inheritor of demonic arts was indeed of great importance, and the fewer people who knew about it, the lower the risk of exposure for Gu Changge. But for Gu Xian’er, she would have rather given up her immortal bones to help Gu Changge resolve the issue of the demonic heart.

However, Gu Changge chose to keep it hidden from her, even now, refusing to reveal the truth. This made Gu Xian’er feel that she wasn’t trusted by him.

He still seemed to be on guard against her.

“Are you talking about… the Forbidden Demonic Arts matter?” Gu Changge seemed to have just realized, wearing an expression of sudden understanding.

He had indeed guessed that it was related to this. However, he had no idea how Gu Xian’er had discovered it.

“You finally admitted it.” Gu Xian’er stared at him with bright eyes, trying to see any change in Gu Changge’s expression.

Gu Changge, hearing this, chuckled somewhat awkwardly and then shook his head. “I remember telling you about it a long time ago, but you didn’t believe me back then.”

Gu Xian’er was left momentarily stunned by this revelation. Many of the questions she had wanted to ask Gu Changge were suddenly held back.

“You told me a long time ago?”

“Why don’t I have any memories? It’s impossible for me to forget something so important.”

She furrowed her brows and began to recollect. Gu Changge’s candid and straightforward attitude, without any explanation or defense, had caught her off guard.

What she cared about wasn’t Gu Changge’s identity as a inheritor of the demonic arts; it was how Gu Changge treated her. But if Gu Changge had indeed told her about this, she would certainly remember.

Gu Changge smiled faintly. “Do you remember a suitor named Zi Yang Heavenly King? And do you remember he had a senior brother named Qin Wuya?”

“Zi Yang Heavenly King?” The name seemed to trigger some recognition in Gu Xian’er, and her beautiful eyes widened. Memories of that time suddenly flooded back into her mind.

Zi Yang Heavenly King and Qin Wuya, who were considered her senior brothers in her past life. They had fetched water from the Reincarnation Lake, hoping she would drink it and regain her memories from her previous life. They had even revealed to her that Gu Changge was the real inheritor of the demonic art.

They had warned her that sooner or later, Gu Changge would catch her and devour her essence and everything she had. Back then, Zi Yang Heavenly King had even used his divine eye ability to show her a fragment of her future, her destiny.

Then, Gu Changge arrived and took down both of them. When she had questioned him about this matter, he had calmly admitted it without offering any explanation.

“Indeed, you told me a long time ago…” Gu Xian’er finally realized.
